It's great news that these crims have had their just desserts. It's even better the quantity of drugs taken out of circulation, and hopefully the decimation of the network.

I'm well grasped of the difference between the two, and for the most part I think white collar crime is worse. It's pure greed and the same kind of exceptionalism that's been growing and growing for the last 50-60 years. Blue collar crime is as old as civilisation, white collar crime is as old as deregulation.

white collar crime is as old as civilization - how do you think kings and nobles got their positions back then?

One was the system of governance for millennia, the other was enabled by the naivety of a failed ruling class who handed the power of states to the fraudsters of global finance.

Everyone understood (at a local level) how feudalism worked, I doubt many people could tell you what Wirecard were doing.
